Having used Skydrive for the last few months with no problems, I noticed today that folders that previously contained documents were showing empty both on my PC and in the cloud. These documents were not deleted by myself as the Skydrive is used for archiving important documents and the folder is used on a daily basis and they are not in the Recycle Bin.

Where have these files gone? I have not moved or removed them, Microsoft has. These documents are extremely important and the reason for using Skydrive was to maintain a cloud back-up for my PC but I didn't expect the cloud to remove them and then sync those changes back to my PC without notifying me. This doesn't happy with Gmail, Dropbox or any other cloud storage.
